To Jeff Gannon, XOXO

Perhaps the reason I can't get emotionally invested in Matt Sanchez is because I'm still not over Jeff Gannon. There's only room in my heart for one socially conservative, semi-closeted, homophobic, gay-sex-worker-turned-Republican-shill. Matt Sanchez may be Jeff Gannon Redux, but Jeff Gannon is the Original Jeff Gannon.

I'm wondering what's going on in Jeff's life right now that's making him think so much about the gays. These posts are more than just the rants of a self-loathing gay man; they're cries for help. Could he be going through a tough break-up? Might he have lost some gay friends? Maybe he's waking up to his sexual identity? (There's a chance it's something positive, like he's in love. A strange way of expressing that for a strange strange man.)

Either way, Jeff, just know that I'm here for you, and I'm not about to leave you for another. No matter how flashy the new gay far-right shill is, you'll always be my Jeff Gannon.
